1: A statement, action, or incident regarded as an instance of indirect, subtle, or unintentional expression of disapproval of someone or something based on perceived faults or mistakes.
2: Criticising someone by using a different person as an example. Not necessarily intentional.

"My mother's story about a former friend was a pretext to micro-critize my life's choices."
"He made a micro-criticism when he said to me that he hates that other person's pants, while I was wearing the same kind.
"When I confronted her for insinuating I was fat, she got defensive and said I misunderstood, she was talking about other people, not me. I felt bad for getting mad, but we were talking about me in the first place. Was it a micro-criticism, or am I overly sensitive?"

When your boss is simultaneously micromanaging you and doing a poor job coordinating the project as a whole.
Even with two daily touch points scheduled for this project, no one could figure out what was being asked of them. I've never seen a project so micro mismanaged.

Micronihilism is the paradigm that the universe is the size of a the neutrino.
The universe is then expands in size through the action of polynominalism: the phenomenon of human thoughts of length 10^25 Planck-length stretching the universe to diameter of 10^14 Planck-lengths.

Micro-nihilism tells us that not only is the universe made of a single neutrino as-per-frequentism--it is unintentionally the SIZE of a neutrino.
